Ok I went to the ER today because my back was hurting really bad and I had alot of pelvic pressure. I thought at worst I was in labor (30w2d) at best I was dehydrated and needed some fluids before I went into labor. Of course the village idiot was on call who btw works at my obs office. She says I have a UTI doesnt even do a UA on my urine just a dip and no other kind of blood work no ultrasounds just the urine dip and the contraction monitor thing. No fluids, she told me to drink more(wish i could!) take microbid which I had already said made me violently ill(er) last time. Really funny part is wed when I was at the Dr my urine wasnt that bad...so from wed to today it got REALLY bad?!?!?! and I swear if someone didnt post this on my wall just now on facebook...............

"Do you still have the UTI?
if so, cranberry and pomegrante jucie is best for that make sure it's organic and without sugar or if you have fresh fruits make it yourself
All the best"

REALLY?!?!?!?!?!again do I have stupid written on my forehead somewhere??

You probably have "pregnant" written on your forehead, which seems to be read to mean "say stupid things to me".

I agree on the stupid UA strips being a bad way to dx a UTI. Firstly, in the past at least, I almost always spilled white cells when pg. So, unless there's white cells + Nitrites, don't even go there! I have no idea why they couldn't culture the urine for you.

Facebook comments.... yeah. This will be my first go round with pg + FB and I'm only a minute pg... so I can only give my sympathies!

When I was pg and HGing, I always had UTI. It was incredibly stupid because I would go into the ER with uncontrollable vomiting, no pee for 3 days, and pretty lethargic and they would send me home with a DX of UTI. REALLY?? That's the best you could do? I told you I haven't peed in 3 days, what did you expect would be the problem??

Cranberry is excellent for UTIs, but I could never stomach it while pg. I found cranberry pills, but seriously, I couldn't care less if what I found something that stayed down was organic or not! And when cranberry didn't stay well, I never thought to try pom juice (only more tart and stronger tasting, which is never good coming back up).

Perhaps we should have a list of FB crackers on here. People can just be silly about all this stuff. "I am on Zofran, Phenergan, and IVs at home, but no, I haven't tried crackers or drinking fluids on my own because I like all this stuff." Nuts!
